SLANDERING MRl. SANDiERS. Slander is the weapon of the base and the coward. No self-respecting, no true and honorable man will ever indulge in such disreputable and contemptuous pro- cess to discredit another for political or other reasons. A few days since the New Orleans press contained articles strongly con- damning the slander of Mr. Sanders. candidate for Governor. One of these detractors, so-called, as singled out is ~av. J. Holtgreve, a Catholic priest' of Sthe town of Plaquemine, in the parish of Iberville. In their comments of this Ittident the Sanderites have attemp ed KR to create or leave the impression ti at thbse insinuations and slanders h4e been siggested by the political opfo- •g.tts of Mr. Sanders. Indeed, some of SiU a organs have been apparently I WLot up to an extraordinary display U~ir . In the slander in question it ,t *eoper that Father Holtgreve 4 mtaddress a lettter to Lieutenant Sanders, as explained in the offlered in the letter published in •ies-Democrat, of which the fol- S J.

Petitpain testified against AMr. Sanlderi and exhibited hip wound ti , the jury. to "how that it was it the bahk, near the spinal colmun, and clainmed that when shot he was in full and peaceful retreat. "Mr. Sanders showed that lie had been struck in the month by Pctitpain and claimed that Pctitpain had used a brick in striking him: that Petitpaini's assault, in renewal of a prior difficultyr, was sudden and unexpected, and was from the side or rear; that Petitpainu. as he delivered the blow, turned and ra:i. and that Mr. Sander,. a; lie was falling, drew his pistol and fired. 'li h night of the shooting Mr. Sanders start- ed on horseback for Arkatsas and li dian Territory, where he lived tinder the nanie of \V. S. Perkins for about ten months, after which time he ret l:ied voluntarily and surrendered for trial." Why inot stick to issues in which the people are directly concerned? MYSTERY CLEARED.

They Appear to Have Been Success- ful In the Elections. Manila, Aug. 1.-The independence factions, that united in the campaign under the name of the Nationalists, ap- pear to have won the general election, held throughout the islands. Incom- plete returns from fifty out of eighty districts show that thirty-one Nation- alists were elected, ten Progressive, eight Independence candidates and one Catholic. In Manila the Nationalists won by a large majority in both dis- trtets. Dominandor Domes claims the election in the First district of the city. while Justo Lakban contests the elec- tion of both Independence candidates. It probably will be ten days or two weeks before the complete returns are received. NO DISCRIMINATION. Five Japanese Chambers of Commerce Write to Seattle. Seattle, Aug. 1.-Alleging the legi- timate rights of the Japanese people have been trampled upon In certain portions of this country and their prop- erty has been attacked and treaty rights disregarded even to the ertent of the fives of Japanese subjects.hav tag been in danger, the five Chambers of Commerce in .Japan have written letters to the Seattle Chamber of Com- merce askina that an effort be made to prevent discrimination against their countrymen in the United States. The protest points out that such treatment will eventually lead to'a breach in the commercial relations of the two coun- tries. BRAVE RICHARD CONLEY.

FORTY-TWO LESS OF MEN. In the Feminine Population of North Shore Suburb of Chicago In a Year There Has Been an Increase of Four Hundred and Seventy. Chicago. Aug. 1.- -Evanston. North Shore city of wealth Ipride and culture, is gaining in feminine ipopulation, is losing her masculine inhabitants and is confronted witll race suicide. This sit ution was revealed with he coin pletion of the city's annual school cen- sus. The figures showed an increase of 470 in the feminine population. a do- crease of forty-two in the number of masculine inhabitants and an increase of only seven in the number under twenty-one years og age. In the part of the city given over to luxury, which furnishes a total polpulation of abshout 12,000 in school district No. 75. there were just about the same number of children that there were in the Fifth and Sixth wards, which furnished only 4,000 peoplte. Victor McCulloch, the census taker, who is a Northwestern university stn- dent said that even this showing in the wealthy homes was much better than it would have- been had iI not been that the maids and other servants under twenty-one years of age were included as among "''the children." The total p onulatlion is 24,.324. nand the census showvs that there are 1.968 more females than males in the town. YELLOW FEVER STATUS. Report Shows There Is.but Little Danger From Scourge. Now Orleans, Aug. 1.-An encourag- Ing report ablout yellow fever infection in Central American countries was made by Dr. John N. Thomas, travel- ing inspector of the marine hospital service, with headqual ters here. Hie found Spanish and British Honduras in such a slate of cleanliness as to minimize the danger of yellow infec- tion from those countries. Guatemala. however. where yellow fever was re- ported early this year, is not satis- factory. Dr. Thomas found officials of the Guatemalan Northern railway making a determined effort to clean the towns along the line and thereby remove the source or recurring in- fection, and marine hospital quaran- tine regulations at port towns are so well observed there is probably no danger of the fever spreading outside Guatemala.

Pherson of the United States rourt for writ of habeas corpus made by for the Southern district filed an opinion here with the clerk of the Federal court denying the appl!cation for writ of hhbeas corpus made by George K.

SLANDERING MRl. SANDiERS.

Slander is the weapon of the base and

the coward. No self-respecting, no true

and honorable man will ever indulge in

such disreputable and contemptuous pro-cess to discredit another for political or

other reasons.A few days since the New Orleans

press contained articles strongly con-damning the slander of Mr. Sanders.candidate for Governor. One of thesedetractors, so-called, as singled out is

~av. J. Holtgreve, a Catholic priest' of

Sthe town of Plaquemine, in the parish

of Iberville. In their comments of this

Ittident the Sanderites have attemp edKR to create or leave the impression ti at

thbse insinuations and slanders h4ebeen siggested by the political opfo-

•g.tts of Mr. Sanders. Indeed, some ofSiU a organs have been apparently

I WLot up to an extraordinary displayU~ir . In the slander in question it

,t *eoper that Father Holtgreve4 mtaddress a lettter to Lieutenant

Sanders, as explained in theofflered in the letter published in

S J. Y. Sanders, New Orleans,Sir-The letter which I wrotetiie ago contained a state-ui taseiors- that had reached me

which it did. Petitpain testified againstAMr. Sanlderi and exhibited hip wound ti ,the jury. to "how that it was it the bahk,near the spinal colmun, and clainmed thatwhen shot he was in full and peacefulretreat.

"Mr. Sanders showed that lie hadbeen struck in the month by Pctitpainand claimed that Pctitpain had used abrick in striking him: that Petitpaini'sassault, in renewal of a prior difficultyr,was sudden and unexpected, and wasfrom the side or rear; that Petitpainu.as he delivered the blow, turned andra:i. and that Mr. Sander,. a; lie wasfalling, drew his pistol and fired. 'li hnight of the shooting Mr. Sanders start-ed on horseback for Arkatsas and lidian Territory, where he lived tinder thenanie of \V. S. Perkins for about tenmonths, after which time he ret l:iedvoluntarily and surrendered for trial."
